The teaser poster for director Sofia Coppola’s new suspense thriller “The Beguiled” starring Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning has just been launched by Universal Pictures, carrying the ominous tagline, “Innocent, Until Betrayed.”
“The Beguiled” is an atmospheric thriller from acclaimed writer/director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, Marie-Antoinette). The story unfolds during the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school. Its sheltered young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.
An official competition entry to this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the film’s screenplay is adapted by Coppola from Thomas Cullinan’s original novel.
“The Beguiled” is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
